Blank screen with blinking cursor
« on: July 16, 2011, 06:22:52 AM »
Hi,

I am using Grub2dos with plpbt.bin. When I choose 'Plop Boot' from GRUB menu, by default its selecting USB option on first menu and it shows me this,

Code: [Select]
LOADING EHCI DRIVER
SEARCHING ON HOSTS
HOST 1
PORT 2: DEVICE CONNECTED
NO HD
PORT 7: DEVICE CONNECTED
NO HD
DRIVER REMOVED
LOADING UHCI DRIVER
SEARCHING ON HOSTS
HOST 1
PORT 2: DEVICE CONNECTED
NO HD
HOST 2
HOST 3
PORT 1: DEVICE CONNECTED
NO HD
DRIVER REMOVED
LOADING OHCI DRIVER
SEARCHING ON HOSTS
DRIVER REMOVED
*** BOOT ERROR ***
NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND, PLEASE RETRY IT

When I plug-in my external DVD writer with windows XP CD in it, "I SEE BLANK SCREEN WITH BLINKING CURSOR"

I want to install XP on my desktop. How to make it work? My desktop pc is old, no usb option in BIOS, no internal cd/dvd player, no floppy.

Thanks
